Fathers and Sons

Amazing!!! Director is a genius ! Definitely definitely a must watch

Fans of the Jack Carr book series will find this brief but heartfelt film a touching tribute to the Carr legacy. The performances are very real and the dialogue is handled in a no nonsense manner which gives this story a deeper appreciation for the military, family and anyone who can handle themselves around a pool table.

When I watched Fathers and Sons for the first time, I didn't know what to expect. I will be honest, I watched it because I'm a fan of Tim Abell and by the end I was blown away. I was in awe of the entire short film. I honestly felt like I was eavesdropping on friends shooting pool in a bar. There was such a natural camaraderie between not just the characters of Tom and Del but between Michael Broderick and Tim Abell. Tyne Stecklein was perfect as Rhonda, she was perfect as not just a waitress/bartender but as someone who has spent time with Tom and Del before. Someone who has heard the stories before. Huge kudos and praise for Vernon E Mortensen for writing an incredible story that made you a part of the story. Director Ryan Curtis let the friendship of those characters shine and the story shine through. He had the ultimate task of making a short film that felt like a big film and he more than succeeded. Huge shout out to Rachel Wolfgang for his spectacular film editing, it flowed flawlessly. Last but not least, before this I had no idea who Jack Carr or Terminal List was and now I've more than corrected that. My suggestion, watch Fathers and Sons and then read the books. You will not regret it
